Aligoté unveiled: Romania’s hidden treasure, ready to impress
Aligoté, a white grape variety originating from France, remains relatively underappreciated on the global wine stage despite its ability to produce excellent wines. In Romania, however, it has found a thriving home, with 5,065 hectares under cultivation as of 2023—more than three times the area planted in Burgundy.
At Daniel’s Wine Club, we wholeheartedly recommend exploring Roanian Aligoté wines. Their unique charm and exceptional quality make them well worth a try.
A Pure Expression of a One-of-a-Kind Terroir
Gramma Aligoté 2023 embodies the essence of a truly unique terroir, shaped by history and nature. The vineyards flourish in soils enriched with fossilized seashells—ancient remnants of the Sarmatian Sea—imparting a distinctive minerality that defines the wine’s character. This exceptional dry white wine is more than a taste experience—it’s a reflection of the land’s deep-rooted history and identity.
Tasting notes
Appearance
A clear, vibrant lemon-green color.
Nose
Fresh and expressive, with delicate floral aromas of white lilac and acacia mingling with subtle hints of dried grass. Layers of fruit emerge—green apple, white peach, pear, melon, and lemon—creating an inviting and beautifully complex aromatic profile.
Palate
Crisp and effortlessly enjoyable, this wine strikes a perfect balance between lively fruit flavors and moderate acidity. A smooth, rounded texture enhances its elegance, while a subtle fruit-derived sweetness lingers on the finish, making it exceptionally food-friendly.
Food pairing
An excellent match for herb-roasted white fish, seafood and vegetable appetizers, caponata, grilled chicken, yogurt-based salads, fresh cheeses, creamy pasta dishes, nanban-zuke (marinated fried fish), summer vegetable tempura, and sushi.
